Is it just me or does this thing look like it got hot ? Maybe lack of oil lub somehow? Is there any galling on the mainshaft or governor support(or whatever they call it)?

HOT!!! oh yeah. went thru the traps had a quick scan of the guages & thought"damn, trans temp guage is f....." it was reading zero. on the return road i looked again & saw it reading 220* & dropping. the needle was held back from going around again by the zero pin. it was still full of fluid & the debris was two big chucks of alloy & the sprag springs ground up in the pan @ the back. cooler only had 3 specs of alloy after flushing. no damage to anything else except 1 band has a lil alloy in it too. i'm guessing the being low band was why i could still drive back to the pit??
